i had uploaded my tracks from last new-years holidays. as a gpx upload they are only shown as trackpoints, but i did some spliting in the original track (i you like i can send you the file)
it contains:
- Amsterdam
- Arnheim
- Delft (with some streetnames)
- Den Haag/Scheveningse
- De Hoge Veluwe
- Rotterdam
- Venlo

Hello FrankM!
I did realise that there are some new track points around Delft/Den Haag! thank you. I already created some segments with them,as I came across them while editing and some correspond to roads I know.
I will try also to check those highways, and add them to the table!
Thank you once more,

Dutch cycle route planner
To OSM users in the Netherlands: I saw this link you may find useful:
- Dutch cycle route planner
- (Dutch) Cyclists create their own GPS maps. According to this article, the goals and methods of this project appear to be highly compatible with those of OSM. Perhaps some OSM users in the Netherlands would contact the Dutch cycle route planner folks and discuss importing their data into OSM. Teratornis 20:27, 13 Jul 2006 (BST)
- I guess it uses mostly proprietary data, and the tracks added by volunteers do not appear to be based on GPS traces (see Handleiding Editor Fietsroute-Planner (Dutch)). I found another site [1], which has GPX tracks of cycleways but does not appear to have any naming information attached to it. --Freek 12:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- According to the licence on GPStracks.nl the GPS tracks and other interesting info (e.g. node networks) are not freely distributable and therefore of no use for OSM. --Lambertus 13:07, 4 May 2007 (BST)
Questions related specifically to mapping The Netherlands
Cycleways in residential areas
I just started mapping and have the following question: Do we create cycleways (with highway=cycleway tags) when a (residential or tertiary) way has a seperate cycleway? Mapping these cycleways is topologically correct but 'clutters' the map and sometimes interferes with adjacent ways as can be seen here. --Lambertus 10:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- After mentioning this question on the IRC it was suggested that it is best to map the cycleways as acurately as possible. Any strange/unwanted rendering behavior should be fixed in the renderer. --Lambertus 14:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
HetWild vs Het Wild
By accident, I came across http://www.informationfreeway.org/?lat=51.765128450455734&lon=5.367704036471166&zoom=17 which says "HetWild" - should that be "Het Wild"? --Colin Marquardt 00:41, 18 October 2007 (BST)
- Yes, this is already noted on AND-NL:_Todo (this is due to a small bug in the import script, no spaces are inserted between prefix, name and suffix). --Freek 07:05, 18 October 2007 (BST)
